June 2025

If you're a fast typist, this game will feel like second nature. If not, I highly recommend trying the demo first to test the waters and see if it's your cup of tea. It's not exactly cozy, but I enjoyed it immensely. The story was okay, but the visuals and the clever, engaging puzzles stood out the most for me. I even picked up a bunch of new words along the way, which was a nice bonus! All that's left for me to do now is the arena just to kill some time.

May 2025

This game is very different than any game I have ever played. The game is very unique in how it is played, using typing as your weapon to combat foes. In addition to typing you have to switch back and forth in your typing powers to fight different foes or open different gates to advance the story and world. Points are also collected to unlock different portals or pieces of the world. You also have abilities that you can put points into, to train the abilities that you want to hone faster. The game itself is pretty, with a nice narration telling the story as you advance. I wouldn't say you have to be the worlds best typist, however you cannot be a one finger typist and expect to advance the story either. After playing for a bit, my wpm certainly improved lol Very enjoyable, bought it on sale and worth every penny.

April 2025

This was the first time I played such a nice typing game. I don't really like "hacking" theme and most of these are in that game genre so I was happy when this gem showed up. Story is interesting and how fast you beat it depends on your typing skills. For achievements hunters - you won't be able (at least I don't think so) to get all achievements after finishing the game. You will need to grind them at the arena for few hours (beating certain amount of enemies + amount of typed words). So it might take time but it's not impossible. There are few missable achievements if you won't explore the map so just go there and enjoy the view and beat the dungeons. You will unlock more of the story thanks to that ~~[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44342408-Sanctuary-for-Strange-People/]Check my curator's page! ~~

March 2025

A relatively simple but stylish dream adventure where one of the skills you develop is your ACTUAL typing speed. I regularly return to it because the words you are supposed to type are vaguely related to the function they perform (as in things you are supposed to burn prompt fire-related words, enemies are negative words, ...) and so when you put the word bank in a different language the game turns into association flashcards.

Dec. 2024

I played this with a new ortho keyboard and decided to learn the Workman layout with it. Now I know what old people feel like when you ask them to type something. Gameplay-wise, it's very poorly optimized, you need much better hardware than the mentioned minimal requirements. Except for that, it's an indie masterpiece.
